commit 54a6f29522da3c914da30e50721dedf51046449a upstream. If the previous list_for_each_entry_continue_rcu() don't exit early (no goto hit inside the loop), the iterator 'cvif' after the loop will be a bogus pointer to an invalid structure object containing the HEAD (&ar->vif_list). As a result, the use of 'cvif' after that will lead to a invalid memory access (i.e., 'cvif->id': the invalid pointer dereference when return back to/after the callsite in the carl9170_update_beacon()). The original intention should have been to return the valid 'cvif' when found in list, NULL otherwise. So just return NULL when no entry found, to fix this bug.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
